"Dexter....Dexter! Come here darling!" My mother called me.
"Coming Mum!" I replied back as I left my laptop and ran towards mum's room
"Yes!" I said trying to catch my breath, "sweetheart, I want you to do me a favor " She said
"Sure mum, what is it?" I asked
" Can you please turn off your laptop and help me with chores?" She asked, it surprised me that mum wants me to help in chores, she never asked me to do that before, plus I'm a boy I don't do chores.
"Sure mum, I'll help...anyway I'm tired of facebook" I say with a bored tone.
"Thanks sweetheart" She said smiling
"Anything mum!"I smiled back.
I was the guy who isn't popular, not the average guy, not even the nerd I was the normal guy, never messed with anyone no one even messed with me too. I loved my mother more than anything in this world, I'd do anything to make her happy. She was the only one left for me, so I take good care of her.
After I was over with chores, I went back to my laptop, and went on facebook again to find my best friend on and spoke to him for a while, then decided to go to sleep.
"Hey mum, I'm going to go to sleep." I shouted from my room so mum could hear me in the kitchen.
"But....aren't you hungry honey!" She replied back
"No...I'm not...goodnight anyway!"I answered back.
"Ok then..goodnight!" She replied back.
So, I just jumped on my bed, put rock music on high volume, and went in deep sleep, I think my mum came in and covered me, kissed my forehead, took my phone stopped the music and put the phone next to my head then left the room.
The next day, I woke up on my mum's voice trying to wake me up.
"Wake up...."She said shaking me slowly.
"uuuuh...5 more minutes mama..." I say and hide my face under my pillow.
"Don't let me bring the cold water" She said with an evil smile
I opened my eyes and looked at her "You wouldn't dare!" I said quickly
"Oh yes I would.." She said with the same evil smile.
I quickly got out of my bed and ran to the bathroom, or else she'll seriously do it, I know my own mother. Cold water is the worse thing that can happen to you ever.
I took my shower and wore my clothes after deciding to wear the best thing I had in my cupboard. I ran down stares without drying my hair I took a piece of toast and headed to the door.
"Where are you going Dexter, aren't you gonna eat honey!" Yelled my mum from the kitchen.
"No mum, I'm not hungry" I yelled back from outside the house with the door opened.
"Oh, honey you'll become a skeleton like that!" She said running after me to the door, " Dexter honey, you should really start eating like all people do" She said putting her hand on my head.
"Oh, mum I'll be fine!" I say smiling.
I kissed her cheek and went out the door, on my way I met Otto, my best friend (the one on facebook).
"Hey man, how are you?" He asked but few seconds later he was staring at me when he saw the toast in my hand.
"I'm fi-.." I didn't complete my sentence because I noticed he was staring at me like I was a Zombie walking next to him. "What?" I ask
"Just what in the world!" he yelled at me in a scary way. Okay seriously, I got scared
" A toast! A TOAST DUDE!" He yelled again, I thought he went mad at that moment.
"Yeah, what's up with the toast?" I say in a bored tone.
"You know, if you stay like this eating toast, you won't gain one no, no, no not one half the kilogram!" He yelled for the third time.
"Oh, so that's what's going on. Dude you scared me!" I say giving him a look.
We kept on talking all the way to school, and when we reached, I saw our friend Addie coming towards us. She greeted me and hugged Otto. (Give me a break)
"Love birds" I say giving them a sarcastic smile
"Well... it's not my fault you didn't get the girlfriend yet" Said Otto.
"Whatever!" I say
"Oh and speaking of girlfriends, look who came" He said pointing at Ashley, one of the most popular girls in the school, every boy would wish to talk to her, and to be honest I'm one of them, I crushed her since the third grade and look at me now, ninth grade and I still crush her. And today for some reason she spoke to me.
"Hi.." She said
" Hey..." I said surprised
"Look I need your help in something....uh..what's your name?" She asked.
"Dexter!" I said angrily, I hated the fact that she doesn't even know my name.
"Yeah right, Dexter! So, as I was saying I need your help in this science homework I don't understand, please!" She said quickly.
"Sure.." I say surprised from what she asked me to do.
"Okay then, come!" She said pulling me somewhere to the roof and when we reached there I gave her a strange look.
"What?" She asked me.
"Why the roof?" I asked with a same look on my face.
She gave me a sweet smile which took me to heaven and brought me back.
"I don't want any one from that gang you hate to interrupt the explanation" She said.
"Who..?" I asked
"You know, the football team... you hate them right?" She said with an innocent face.
"Yes, I do" I said staring at her face.
"Okay now, Can you explain please?" She asked.
"O-oh yeah, right!" I say in a nervous voice.
The question she asked brought me back to reality. I think if she didn't speak up, I would have kept staring. After I explained to her, she thanked me and left. And after sometime I heard the bell ring so I ran to my class. The teacher wasn't there so I took my seat , Then came Otto towards me and sat on the seat next mine and began to bother me.
"Soooo!" He asked
"What?" I asked and he rolled his eyes
"What happened?" He asked again
"Nothing really, I just explained, she left and it was over, trust me" I answered him back
And after a day full of books and teachers, we went back home. I entered my house and yelled that I came.
"Hi sweetheart, how was school?" She asked me while she was setting the table for lunch.
"It was cool...what are you cooking mum?, it smells good" I asked
"Great, Because it's your favorite" She said smiling at me
"Thanks mum!" I said in a kidish voice.
After lunch, I went up to my room to do my homework and when I was over, I went back listening to Rock music. My mum called me several times but I couldn't hear her due to the loud music in my ears. So, she came up to my room and opened the door.
"Dexter!" She yelled a bit.
"Sorry mum, did you call me?" I asked removing the headphones from my ears.
"Yes , I wanted to talk to you about something really important, that I hid from you years ago" She said
"Sure mum" I said wanting to know
What is she going to tell me? I wonder what's going on? I want to know.
